Olivier Giroud, the Chelsea striker, is keen to help his side win the group ahead of their clash with Sevilla.
 
"Obviously we have already qualified but we need to finish first. We needed this win," Giroud said.
 
"We dominated the game for big parts of the first half but then they pushed a lot, even though we stayed in the game. It was difficult because they had a strong desire and lots of aggression. 
 
"It almost felt like a Premier League game. They were unlucky but we are very pleased with these three points against a team with strong character."
 
Sevilla will host Chelsea for the first time in a competitive match.
